From PC to KC. Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Holder, Nicholls plus Team Rickardsson of Lindback and Sajfutdinov. Sorry Freddie No show nio Lindback are you serious. With his catalogue of sob stories he should be on x factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballinger Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Interesting thoughts of Team TRick. They might go with one but Lindback back in the GP's so quickly? Think he needs one more year out before he comes back in. I agree it'd be strange choice, but trust me its gonna be a strange winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colincooke Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Wouldn't consider Harris in a onth of Sundays. Completely out of his depth and sorry to see. that Cardiff win was clearly a fluke. I would go with one Brit in Nicholls. There isn't anyone else who can fill the second spot at the moment. Give it a coule of years and we might have but not for 2009. Give the extra place to a foriegner who can at least challege for some points. I find myself agreeing here Steve, a year or maybe even 2 out of the GP's might do Chris some good, getting back to basics & rebuilding, he's still young enough to come back stronger. By then we may have 1 or 2 others that are ready too. My 4 are Nicholls Lindgren Saifutdinov Holder. Though i do think Holder may turn down an invitation based on what he has said previously, not sure. ......and yes, this really is me Edited October 18, 2008 by colincooke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 nicholls must be a wild card. he is what, 9th in the world? he is by far and large the best brit out there and mixes it in the gps with the big boys. kennett in the gps? dont make me laugh! harris a wild card? LOL. what planet do some of you chaps live on ?? wild cards should definately be nicholls, emil the russian, and 2 of hampel, iversen, zagar and lindgren. holders already said hes not ready and emil the russian is a much better talent than him IMO. done him twice in the last 2 u21s.

LisaColette Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) 1) Probably 2) Probably 3) I think I'm right in saying that if he's in th GP that would mean if he chose to ride in Britain he'd come in on an 8, which would probably put paid to him coming over, for a while at least. He could quite possibly achieve an 8 point average, but he certainly wouldn't be as good value as he would be on 4 or 5 4) From a selfish point of view I seriously hope not. 5) I would imagine they wan t2 brits so it will probably go to Harris or Richardson, although they might Ed Kennett a try. I agree with that, i hope they don't give one to holder. As much as i love watching him ride, i fear he could get burnt out. Unless he drops riding a league in poland or sweden.

The same with Iversen 3 danes already and what motivates 4-5 and 4 danes and 1-2 swedes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 He probably will be in as the token Brit . Satsumanov and Holder should be certs . Lindgren will probably get another chance . Hampel would be a more deserving case than Nicholls , but there are already 4 Poles in next years GPs - so the token Brit it will be then .

schumi Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 After Emil beat him to the U21 title Holder said he was going to try to make it into the GPs, as he's no longer eligible for the U21s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerblues Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Nicholls, Lindgren, Sajfutdinov, Holder. Nicholls although will probably never win a GP is clearly of a better standard than we've seen in the GPs before, now this side is coming out of him I reckon he should have 2009 and if he does not make the top 8 by merit, he should be out full stop. Lindgren is not a rider I like or rate but I reckon they'll want 2 Swedes and Fredrik is next in line, could make a bigger impact on the series next year. Sajfutdinov, I do not need to justify the choice. Holder said previously he's not ready for the financial side, a rider like him surely in the GPs would get some decent sponsorship and it wouldn't take long for him to start racking up some impressive scores, brilliant rider who deserves a place. I know 2 Brits will be wanted for Sky and Cardiff but no others are good enough. Unless we just claim Crump is British due to being born here and advertise this at every possible oppurtunity (I am joking btw!!)

pirateandi Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 i would give one to bjarne if he`s changed his mind missed out on a top 8 fair enough but had he not got injured then surely he would of made the top 8 by rights was cruelly stopped of making the final at cardiff and has pedigree in the gp`s if people say no chance then all i can say is the same for nicholls he too seems to rely on getting a wildcard pick so hopefully bjarne will change his mind if approached !

screm Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Goodness me, alll these folk agreeing Scott should be in. We want a debate, bring back Sub Subs fine where he is and so is the Global Superstar,who will get one of next years GP picks.As others have said Sajfutdinov & Holder should get the other two.The last is a choice is between Pedersen,Pavlic,Lingren.

Robbie B Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Nicholls, Lindgren, Holder and Sajfutdinov, will be the four nominated GP riders. But scrap the 'Wildcard' and add another rider instead. Wildcards have been a complete waste of time this year. It's better to have 16 riders competing for the World Championship. Then you could add Chris Harris or Pavlic instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
